A plant-based diet offers a wide range of health benefits, making it suitable for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. If your dog suffers from chronic symptoms such as itchy skin, digestive issues, joint pain, or eye discharge, it may be time to try a wholesome vegetarian diet.
Below are 5 incredible health benefits you can expect when you switch your dog to a vegetarian diet.

Antiallergenic dog food

According to experts at the Cummings Veterinary Medical Center at Tufts University, the most commonly reported food allergies in dogs are based on chicken, beef, dairy, and egg products.
What surprises many pet owners is that grains are actually a rare cause of food allergies—most pets are allergic to animal proteins. Food allergies can cause a variety of symptoms in dogs, including rashes, dry and itchy skin, loose stools, constipation, bloating, vomiting, eye discharge, yeast infections, or hair loss.

Chronic exposure to allergens poses a health problem because it weakens the immune system. A plant-based diet is naturally allergy-friendly, meaning your puppy can finally be free of these chronic, unpleasant symptoms.

1. Easily digestible dog food

Vegetarian recipes help dogs with a wide range of digestive issues, from loose stools to constipation to gas. Conversely, meat-based dog foods are often a burden on the digestive system due to the acid-forming and inflammatory effects of animal protein. Since plant-based ingredients are gentle on digestion and often free of irritating allergens, they can help alleviate symptoms even in the most sensitive puppies.

2. Anti-inflammatory

Compared to animal-based foods, plant-based foods are naturally anti-inflammatory, meaning they can help relieve joint pain and arthritis (making them an excellent choice for older dogs). Dogs on vegetarian or vegan diets often have better mobility, meaning stronger muscles, longer walks, and more stamina at the dog park.

3. Improves the energy level of dogs

Switching your dog to a vegetarian diet will help him regain his puppy-like energy levels thanks to clean, readily available food (without the negative effects of meat-based and byproduct-heavy diets). Puppies on a plant-based diet often have high energy, which contributes to a higher quality of life.

4. Helps control the dog’s weight

Vegetarian dog food is made from lean and easily digestible ingredients and is a good choice for dogs who have trouble maintaining their weight. Overweight dogs often lose excess weight after switching to a vegetarian diet, stay lean, and live longer and more active lives.
